Tell us about Ballet’s technology and how it differs from other wallets?
The Ballet REAL Series is a physical cold storage wallet for storing cryptocurrency and NFTs, which gives you full and exclusive control of your digital assets. A two-factor cryptographic private key is securely concealed on the physical wallet itself, which allows the wallet to function as a bearer asset like cash or gold.
Ballet wallets are different from others on the market, as they are simultaneously easy and safe to use. Sometimes complexity can be the enemy of security and can also deter a lot of newcomers in learning how to properly self-custody their digital assets.
How do you access your private key with BIP38 technology?
A user verifies the authenticity of their wallet via the Ballet Crypto app to access their digital assets. To specifically access your raw private key, the passphrase entropy and private key entropy must be combined via the BIP38 decryption algorith.
